Hi everyone, I bought a new Astra (2020) two months ago. It has 1.2 liter turbo petrol engine and a manual gearbox. I was very pleased with the car until two days ago when I cannot start the engine in the parking lot. I called the Opel (I'm located in Turkey btw) assist and my car was towed to the service. They told me the fault seems to be related to crankshaft sensor (one of the error codes was P0335). They removed the battery, waited like 20 minutes and then plugged it back. Car started normally. They suggested me to leave the car for the day so that they would check the connections, wiring and investigate more adding that they had never seen this fault in a new car. So I left the car. The next day, I was called and told that the car was ready. They could not find any hardware issues, said the sensors and wiring were OK, removed the fault and recalibrated the car.
I am myself an engineer and I am not satisfied with this because it seemed they just ignored the fault than solving it. I told this and they assured me that the fault will unlikely to reoccur. What I am wondering is that, did you guys experience something like this? Does removing/replugging the battery approach really solves anything?
